Two Steps To Simple Weight Loss
Today we will discuss two simple steps which will teach you how to lose weight and, better still, we show you why they work every single time they are applied. Most of us hit a wall with our fat loss quest at some point so today's plateau-busting tips will help you reach a new personal best when it comes to your physique.
As fitness instructors we know that there is so much misinformation when it comes to fat loss that it's almost criminal. Particularly online, where people constantly have an agenda to sell a miracle pill or extreme fat reducing product of some kind. These steps today are simple, proven and cost nothing.
When trying to get rid of unwanted body fat, there's a couple of really easy to follow steps which will help you get there faster. They are even easier than you probably think right now.
Rule One - Snack Tubs.
The Second Rule - Days Off Work.
Most people fall off a diet at least once in their life. Heck, I have known people to do it almost monthly. There is one reason which causes this more than any other and that is the temptation of your favorite junk foods. Normally this happens when you are at your job and don't have any food with you. The vending machine is right there, after all. We've been there before probably just like you have.
Some people crave junk food just because they tell themselves they aren't supposed to have it. We call this forbidden fruit syndrome, and it's a sign of somebody who isn't ready to diet. Others, however, simply lust after the quick fix feeling of hunger satisfaction that comes from scoffing a chocolate bar. Their body doesn't want the food itself, it's more of a mental thing.
The nutritional facts of any of the foods in that vending machine are terrible, so your body is absolutely not longing for that type of food, believe us on that. It's you. It's more of a comfort thing than a hunger thing. You associate it with feeling happy, and you know it.
By packing a few small snack tubs into your satchel each morning, each filled with a small protein rich meal, you enable your body to completely bypass any tendency to long for junk food. The protein will also have a smaller impact on your body cell's fat storage.
One of the main reasons we find ourselves frequenting the vending machine is the lack of any real alternative. This simple little trick is proven to return great results.
Secondly we want to focus on the importance of having a day off from your diet once per week. Some people don't need a day off every week, but we would recommend taking one at least every two weeks even if you don't want to. Again this is more of a mental thing than a physical thing, but the benefits are proven.
If you cut out every food you used to love you will feel like your diet is a complete chore. It becomes the enemy. Mentally you start seeing it as a struggle. This is why so many people fail.
Don't be too hard on yourself. You only want to build a better body, after all. Take a day off each week.
You may eat more calories but not enough to wreck your entire week's progress. You may eat junk food but again not enough to derail an entire week's worth of good eating and exercise. In fact, enjoying your favorite foods on one specific day each week gives you a target every single week, something to look forward to. It helps you stick to your routine without even realizing it.
Simply drag and drop these two simple rules into your current diet and you will see results. So many people ask us how to lose weight in the gym and they expect an over complicated answer, but sometimes the simple solutions is all you need.
